Staying Alive

Actually I'm better than that - improving and not nearly the pain level I had with the previous surgery. Doc says I'm healing nicely, but insists on my staying in the sling for another four weeks. NO computer time he says....so much for that one.

I do need to get a new issue up - for one reason, we are having our Annual Salmon and Steelhead Tying Contest again, and I need to get the rules and dates up for that one.
The rules are basically the same as previous contests, so get planning!

Really appreciate the email, cards, and phone calls folks. It has been a tough go with two surgeries, and your thoughtfulness has helped.

Hugs all, stay tuned!

Deanna!
WONDERFUL, to hear from you, fist hand!! All the reports, we've received thus far, from JC, have of course contained MORE information about "How HE'S being mistreated" and how he's "Not slept since the surgery, because of doing ALL the housework AND all the laundry AND all the cooking.............. you get the idea!?!
Seriously, it's GREAT that you felt well enough to type your own, short message but if the doc says to "STAY OFF THE POOTER", then please listen to him!
There's NO fly tying contest or swap, whatever that is WORTH you going against doctor's orders, and perhaps giving yourself a setback, at this stage of the game!
Please, just take is easy and do as you doctor tells you!
We're all pulling for you, so get well quickly!

Glad to hear you are ok, and getting better. Take it slow and continue to get much better. I am sure everyone hear is not in to much of a hurry for a new issue. It is better to wait and be sure you are healthy enough. My prayers still go up for you. John

Deanna,
We are praying for you and Jim. It is soooo good to hear from you. I can never thank you both enough for helping me to to achieve the next level in the wonderful world of fly fishing. God bless you both.:D

Deanna;
Don't worry about us please! We want you to recover. My time spent with you and Jim at the Michigan Fish-In's have been the high points of my life as a retired Trout Bum!
You should be able to go head to head with me this year for the distance cast as I will be working on my double haul! I'll lose of course, but it will be fun.
All my love
Jack

"Staying Alive"; jeez and I thought this was a Bee Gees thread...

Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin'
And ev'rybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha,
Stayin' alive.
Stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha,
Stayin' alive.

Get well soon!

Deanna

So good to hear from you. Listen to the doc...we will be looking foward to the contest and the next issue, but don't rush it. We will be fine until your up to full speed.

:shock: Well, you guys may be fine, but I'm not!! Got that da*n song in my mind "ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive!" :p Gunna go dig out the mirrored globe and dance a bit!

Deanna, I'm thrilled that you're improving so well this time! Take it slow and easy ... we'll all be here when you're ready! Hugs to you!!

I'd like to see that...

Oh the flashbacks of Friday and Saturday nights in the frat house during the Age of Disco. The thing that REALLY bothers me about all of that is that the kids (high school and college) are trying to relive that time. C'mon y'all. Learn from our mistakes!
